Hadith

The Prophet (SAW) said 'The right of a Muslim upon a Muslim are six' It was asked what are they? He replied
"When you meet him, salute him
when he calls you, respond to him
When he seeks advice , give him advice
When he sneezes and praises Allah, respond to him
When he falls ill, visit him
When he dies, follow him (the funeral bier)"


 ‎'And hold fast , all of you together to the rope of Allah , and do not seperate'
(3:103)

'And the believers, men and women, are protecting freinds of one another, they enjoin the right and forbid the wrong' (9:71)

'Te believers are naught else than brothers. Therefore make peace between your brethren and observe your duty to Allah that you may happily obtain mercy' (49:10)
‎'You will see the believers in their mutual kindness, love and sympathy just like one body. When a limb complains, the whole body responds to it with wakefulness and fever' (Muslim and Bukhari)

Prophet Muhammed said,
"You shall not enter Paradise until you believe; and you will not bellieve until you love one another. Shall I not guide you to a thing? Which when done , will make you love one another: Spread the greeting of Salam among you"

The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said : A muslim is a brother to a Muslim: Neither he wrongs him, nor hands him over (to another). And whoso comes in need of his brother , Allah comes in his need ;and whoso removes a calamity of a Muslim, Allah will remove a calamity from the calamities of the Resurrection Day, and whoso conceals the faults of a Muslim, Allah will conceal his sins on the Resurrection Day' (Bukhari and Muslim)

Surah Al-Bakarah, Ayah-123, Holy Quran

Fear The Day Of Judgement When No Person Shall Avail Another, Nor Shall Compensation Be Accepted From Him, Nor Shall intercession Be Of Use To Him, Nor
Shall They Be Helped.

THINGS TO AVOID IN THE MONTH OF RAMADAN

Reduce watching TV, instead spend more time reading the Quran and other Islamic literature.
Avoid looking at unlawful pictures, whether magazines, department store catalogs or otherwise.
Avoid going to theaters; instead go to Masajid, Islamic organizations and make that a daily habit.
Avoid eating too much. Eat only when you are hungry and try not to fill your stomach completely.
If you drink Coffee, Tea or Soda, be sure to reduce consumption.
If you smoke, try to reduce daily usage; otherwise Ramadan will be very difficult for you to observe.
If you like to listen to music, whether the style of western societies or even those from Muslim countries, reduce, even eliminate the time you spent on them; replace them with reciting and listening to recitation from the Quran.
If you enjoy playing cards and board games try your best to avoid them as much as possible and fill your time with something useful.
If you enjoy going with friends to picnics and other social gatherings, try to reduce it before Ramadan; otherwise fasting the month of Ramadan will be more difficult.
If you have friends who do not practice the teaching of Islam, try to avoid socializing with them.
If you travel a lot on business, try to do more local business, so you can be more closer to your family and community.
If you are used to staying up till midnight, try to go to bed earlier, so that you will be able to wake up early for Salat al-Fajr and Tahajjud prayers as well.
To prepare ourselves before the month of Ramadan arrives is far better than waiting till it comes. To prepare ourselves for anything in life is a sign of wisdom and maturity. No one is assured of living one day more; tomorrow may not come. So hurry and benefit from blessings and rewards from Allah.

Surah Al-Bakarah, Ayah-114, Holy Quran

Who Are More Unjust Than Those Who Forbid Allah's Name Be Glorified & Mentioned Much(Prayer & invocations) in Allah's Mosques & Strive For Their Ruin?. It Wasn't Fitting That Such Should Enter Allah's Mosques Except in Fear. For Them There is A Disgrace in This World & Great Torment in Hereafter.

Fasting

Remember fasting the whole month of Ramadan carries many good things like the healing of the soul, the body and the spirit. Soul-wise, it purifies our thoughts and intentions – a true grass-root to Yin and Yang so to speak, a real inner reflection on what’s important today, tomorrow and in the hereafter.
It is about life’s priorities in all aspects-monetary, family & friends, husband/wife, and how we achieve or what means do we use to meet our emotional, psychological and material needs. Is it through lies and deceits or through loyalty, truth and absolute halal deeds, and if one is in doubt about a thought then fasting or Ramadan is a reminder to stay the course as no one knows when her or his meeting with Allah (SBW) is. Body-wise, during Ramadan all excesses the body endured like getting fat or earning illicit money to have halal food or the opposite earning lawfully her/his wages while eating and drinking illicit and Haram food and drinks like porc, alcohol, cigarettes and drugs come to a stop! The body will finally have its chance to rest.During extended fasts the body removes: dead, dying and diseased cells; unwanted fatty tissue, trans-fatty acids, hardened coating of mucus on the intestinal wall; toxic waste matter in the lymphatic system and bloodstream; toxins in the spleen, liver and kidney; mucus from the lungs and sinuses, imbedded toxins in the cellular fibers and deeper organ tissues; deposits in the microscopic tubes responsible for nourishing brain cells and excess cholesterol. http://www.falconblanco.co​m/health/fasting.htm

As for the spirit, during fasting our spirit gets the chance to rest as well simply because God said that the month of Ramadan belongs to him (He imposed on us E’Sayam “fasting” as he imposed it on people before us -Surat Al Bakara) meaning the reciting of Qur’an, filling our spirit with Heavenly reading and prayers and other holy thoughts through out the day and night. Our spirit slowly gets to accommodates itself to be more tolerant, more forgiving, and starts to look at back on the past months where futile and stupid small things got people to lose friendship and brother/sisterhood and fight for mundane worldly things that do not last nor serve us once we are no longer part of this world.

All the above (soul, body, spirit) are constantly bombarded by Satan through out the year to commit an illicit act, abuse oneself and others, and Ramadan is the month where all Djins are imprisoned and finally for us to be nearer our creator, to adore him, to please him and obey the Suna, be steadfast with our religious duties and observe the five pillars of Islam so we may die Muslimeen and Muslimat.

Ramadan Moubarak to all of you and may Allah bring peace to your hearts and may He bring healing to the sick and ease of pain to those suffering, and justice to those wronged. Ameen ya Rab al Allameen.
